International Cruises, Pullmantur Cruceros |
PULLMANTUR CRUCEROS Pullmantur Cruceros was founded in 2000 and became the largest Spanish cruise line in the world nowadays. In 2006 it was bought by Royal Caribbean International, and some bigger ships, which were transferred from Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises, joined the fleet.
The cruise line operates a number of vessels which target the
Spanish-speaking passengers. They provide all-inclusive cruise holidays with
itineraries sailing to the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. |
